Chapter 329: Impending Breakthrough, A Bold Idea

"Dark Forbidden Master?"

The Leader of the Jie Sect seemed to be muttering, then fell into silence.

Lord Jingtian waited patiently.

As long as he could find out who the Dark Forbidden Master was, he could defect to him.

After a long while.

Lord Jingtian had been waiting, but since the Leader of the Jie Sect did not reply, he could not help but ask, "Leader? Have you calculated it?"

The hoarse voice of the Leader of the Jie Sect drifted from inside the stone gate: "It cannot be divined. His cultivation might be higher than mine, or perhaps, this person does not exist at all."

Lord Jingtian was stunned. The Dark Forbidden Master's cultivation was higher than the Leader's?

As for the Leader's latter sentence, he did not take it to heart. The legend of the Dark Forbidden Master circulated throughout the entire Immortal Realm, and he himself had suffered from the Dark Forbidden Master's curse, so how could this person not exist!

Lord Jingtian frowned, his mood becoming heavy.

He had not expected that he had still underestimated the Dark Forbidden Master.

Before becoming an ally of the Dark Forbidden Master, he would likely become an enemy of the Dark Forbidden Master.

Facing such a powerful figure hiding in the shadows, who would not be afraid?

For a moment, Lord Jingtian felt terrified.

"Tell me about the deeds of this Dark Forbidden Master." The voice of the Leader of the Jie Sect came again.

Lord Jingtian snapped out of it, took a deep breath, and began to recount everything he knew about the Dark Forbidden Master.

After he finished speaking, he could not help but sigh: "The Immortal Realm has never seen such a mastermind, stirring up the winds and clouds of the Immeasurable Calamity with curses."

"Hmph, just a minor trick."

The Leader of the Jie Sect scoffed, clearly looking down on the Dark Forbidden Master.

He continued: "Do not act recklessly. The current Immeasurable Calamity is not a good time for the Jie Sect to revive. Wait a while longer."

Lord Jingtian was silent.

Wait longer?

How many years had he already waited?

If he kept waiting, the Jie Sect would fall apart!

…

Thirty years later.

Han Jue was finally close to becoming a Seventh-Rank Immortal Emperor!

However, the Underworld had not been peaceful lately, and battle auras often appeared near Hidden Gate Island.

Han Jue sent the Black Prison Demon Lord out to investigate and learned that there were forces in the Underworld wanting to overthrow the rule of the Underworld.

The ambitious Yama wanted to replace the Heavenly Emperor, but it was still too difficult; first, he had to find a way to kill his way out of the Underworld.

Han Jue always felt that the Underworld would also become a battlefield for the Immeasurable Calamity. Should he consider looking for an alternative location?

On this day, Severing the Mortal World suddenly found Han Jue.

After entering the Immortal Cave, he was very nervous and did not dare to look at Han Jue.

"What is the matter?" Han Jue asked.

Severing the Mortal World gathered his courage and said: "Can I learn Divine Abilities from you?"

Learning Divine Abilities was not just about becoming stronger; it was also a process of changing one's identity.

Although they were all on Hidden Gate Island and his cultivation was higher, he always felt inferior when facing the Hidden Gate Disciples.

To put it bluntly, he was still a prisoner.

Han Jue asked: "What Divine Ability do you want to learn?"

Severing the Mortal World looked up in surprise, unable to believe his ears; he had not expected Han Jue to agree so readily.

Han Jue said: "Calculating the time, you have been in the Hidden Gate for a while. It is rare that you can take the initiative to take a step forward. In fact, some of those Disciples have the same background as you; they were subdued by me. But as long as you do not threaten the Hidden Gate and are willing to Cultivate the Dao together, I will let bygones be bygones. You do not need to be afraid of what I will do to you. In fact, it was you who provoked me first; that I allowed you to live is already a sign of goodwill."

Severing the Mortal World felt ashamed upon hearing this; he had indeed been a bit reckless back then.

However, looking at it now, it was not a bad thing.

Although these Hidden Gate Disciples were still young, they all had great talent and boundless futures.

[Severing the Mortal World's favorability toward you has increased. Current favorability is 5 stars.]

Severing the Mortal World pondered for a moment and said: "I want to learn the Tongtian Sword Dao."

Li Yao's Tongtian Sword Dao was indeed very powerful. If he could unleash it with his cultivation, he might not be unable to kill enemies across ranks!

Han Jue nodded and began to impart the Tongtian Sword Dao.

One month later.

Severing the Mortal World left, satisfied.

Murong Qi laughed: "How is it? I told you, Grandmaster would definitely be willing to teach you."

Severing the Mortal World smiled: "I will never forget the Sect Leader's kindness. Just wait, my goal now is to defeat the Black Prison Demon Lord."

In the distance, the Black Prison Demon Lord, who was Cultivating on the mountaintop, raised an eyebrow.

He suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

If he were surpassed by Severing the Mortal World, his status would definitely decline.

He could not be careless. This guy had great talent and had lived longer than him; he had to Cultivate seriously.

Han Jue took out the book of misfortune and began to curse his enemies.

The Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor and the Demon Emperor were still alive; they had to be cursed.

As for Li Xuanao, Han Jue just wanted to make him uncomfortable, so he did not recklessly burn his lifespan.

After Han Jue finished cursing, he was about to continue Cultivating when he suddenly frowned.

He felt a Divine Sense sweep across Hidden Gate Island.

He immediately checked for experts around Hidden Gate Island.

[Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: cultivation unknown, a Buddhist Bodhisattva from the Underworld]

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

Why did this guy come?

Han Jue still remembered that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had a grudge against Immortal God Ji.

He had not expected Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to be more than just an Immortal Emperor!

The Dao Field could isolate the Divine Sense of a Great Luo, so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva should not be able to spy on the situation inside Hidden Gate Island.

Soon, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva left.

After Han Jue could no longer detect him, he began a Simulation Trial.

Fighting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he lasted for an hour.

Although he lost, he felt that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not seem very strong.

It was somewhat unworthy of his God Realm strength.

Could this guy be seriously injured?

Han Jue thought it was possible; otherwise, how could he have let Immortal God Ji escape back then?

…

Ten years later.

Han Jue's Divine Soul was about to transform, which meant he was about to Breakthrough to the Seventh-Rank Immortal Emperor!

He was very satisfied with this!

Just as he was about to Breakthrough, the heavenly dao token suddenly sent a Divine Sense fluctuation.

Han Jue connected to the Divine Sense.

"The Divine Palace is preparing to invade the Underworld on a large scale. Be careful, do not get involved in it." The Heavenly Emperor warned.

The Divine Palace?

Han Jue asked in surprise: "Are they not going to oppose the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect along with the Demon Court?"

The Heavenly Emperor said: "The matter of Dao Supreme has had a huge impact on the Divine Palace. After the new Palace Master took office, he directly announced a clean break with the Demon Emperor. At the same time, they will no longer contend with the Heavenly Court, and their target has shifted to the Underworld. This is also a good thing for the Heavenly Court; after all, the Underworld wants to target the Heavenly Court, so I will not stop it."

Han Jue said: "Rest assured, they cannot find me."

Han Jue remembered one thing and asked: "Your Majesty, do you know about the Nine Nether Purgatory?"

"The Nine Nether Purgatory? I know. Once, the Underworld was the true Immortal Realm. When the Immeasurable Calamity ended, the world was filled with Karma that could not dissipate. The Dao Ancestor took action and flipped the Yin and Yang with a wave of his hand. The Underworld became the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm became the Underworld. The Dao Ancestor then suppressed all the Karma under the Yellow Springs. The Nine Nether Purgatory has never dissipated. You had best not go near it; it hides many powerful existences who were defeated in the Immeasurable Calamity. If you fall in, even I cannot save you."

The Heavenly Emperor's tone was very serious.

Han Jue, however, had a bold idea.

Why not hide in the Nine Nether Purgatory?

His Star Primordial Body could absorb Karma. If he could absorb the Karma in the Nine Nether Purgatory in the future…

Han Jue's heart was moved.

This idea was very bold and also full of fatal attraction.

If not for the Karma in the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus, Han Jue's Breakthrough speed would not have been as fast as it was now!
